************Below is a beautiful scripture reading where reference to joy is found:“You make known to me the path of life;

you will fill me with joy in your presence,

with eternal pleasures at your right hand.”

Psalm 16:11************I chose joy for my one word this year so I am delighted that Margaret Simon, this month's host of Spiritual Journey 1st Thursday, has chosen Finding Joy as her topic. Please see what she and others in the community have written at Reflections on the Teche.
